This thread on PHANTOM PLANET reminds me of an obscure TV-series called WORLD OF GIANTS. And do NOT confuse that series with LAND OF THE GIANTS which was quite different as it dealt with a whole GROUP of diminutive-sized humans. On the other hand, WORLD OF GIANTS was a series about a LONE person who shrank. For me, it's more interesting if it's just a LONE person who's shrunken because it makes him much more unique. In other words, one of a kind. Also in this series, Marshal Thompson uses his Abnormal size as a Secret Agent. I wish I could see this series, but have never found any copies, even on vhs.
My interest in that series stems from the fact that one of my favorite superheroes during the 1960s was THE ATOM who could shrink down to six inches. The ADVANTAGE of the ATOM is that he can control his size, so he can become Normal-size at any time, whereas in Marshal Thompson's TV-series, he is STRANDED at shrunken size. But that Abnormality still comes in handy when applied to espionage in which it is used for infiltration, etc.
So has anyone of you seen that obscure tv-series and can comment?
